How is a line segment and a ray alike?
A line segment is a portion of a line. It has length. It has two endpoints. A ray has only one endpoint. It has infinite length in one direction.
Which is longest a line segment a ray or a line?
A straight line may be extended in either direction indefinitely. A ray is the part of the straight line beginning at a given point and extending limitlessly in one direction. A line segment is a part of the straight line between two of its points, including the two points.
Does a line segment have one endpoint?
It has two endpoints. A ray has one endpoint.
A line that has only one endpoint?
A ray = A half-line
What is a ray in math terms?
A ray in math is a part of a line that has one end point
What is a line segment or ray that intersects the midpoint of a line segment at a 90 degrees angle?
Such a line is called a perpendicular bisector.
What is a line ray or segment that passes through the midpoint of another segment?
A segment bisector
What is a line segments or ray that passes through the midpoint of a side and is perpendicular to the side?
A perpendicular bisector.
What point line ray or segment that intersects a segment at its midpoint called?
It is called a bisector.
Which line ray or line segment is drawn from a triangles vertex to midpoint of the opposite side?
the median is drawn from the vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side
Why can't a line or ray have a perpendicular bisector?
Because both lines and rays are infinite in length and thus have no midpoint.
Mid point of a segment and angle bisector?
Definition of angle bisector:An angle is formed by two rays with a common endpoint. The angle bisector is a ray or line segment that bisects the angle, creating two congruent angles. To construct an angle bisector you need a compass and straightedge.Definition of midpoint:Midpoint of a line segment is the point that is halfway between the endpoints of the line segment. A line segment has only one midpoint. If AB is a line segment and P is the midpoint, then AP = BP =
What is the difference between a line segment and a ray?
a ray continues on and on but a line segment stops
Is an imaginary line from the earth to the moon a line a ray or a segment Why?
It is a segment in case you do not know what a segment is it is a line with two end points
Can a ray be a line segment?
No. A ray is infinite on one side and ends at a point at the other. A line segment ends in two points. A ray can contain a line segment, as the distance between any two given points on the ray is a line segment.
Can a line segment be part of a ray?
yes it can because a Ray is a line segment with an arrow at the end.
How is a line segment and ray the same?
They are not. A line segment is of finite length whereas a ray is infinitely long.
